"I was fortune just to get to heads up and I had a shot at it," says Selbst who would have been the first woman to win a televised WPT open event. "I'm sure I'll be back again and close it out next time."
This was Selbst second career WPT final table, improving on her 3rd place finish in 2011. While she doesn't add a WPT title to her resume, which features 11 titles and two WSOP bracelets, her second place finish takes her career earnings to nearly $8 million.
"$490k is a nice consolation prize," she says on her way to the cage.

Thanks everyone for the support. I ran super good to get heads up and it wasn't meant to be. Huge congrats to Anthony, such a stand up guy.
